I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to announce good news: not in wisdom of word, lest the cross of Christ be made void.

For truly the word of the cross to them perishing is foolishness; but to us saved it is the power of God.

For it has been written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and put away the understanding of the intelligent.

But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong;

And my word and my proclaiming not in persuasible words of man's wisdom, but in manifestation of the Spirit and of power

That your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

But we speak wisdom among the perfected: and the wisdom not of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, they being left unemployed:

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, hidden, which God determined beforehand, before the times to our glory:

But as has been written. Which the eye saw not, and the ear heard not, and upon the heart of man it came not up, what things God has prepared for them loving him.

And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God; that we might know things bestowed upon us as a gift by God.

Which also we speak, not in words taught of man's wisdom, but in them taught of the Holy Spirit; examining spiritual things by spiritual.

And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ.

I have given you milk to drink, and not food; for ye were not able, but neither now are ye yet able.

Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants by whom ye believed, and to each as the Lord gave?

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased.

So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing.

And to me it is the least that I be judged by you, or by man's day: but neither do I judge myself.

For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord.

Not shaming you, write I these, but as my beloved children I admonish you.

For if ye have ten thousand preceptors in Christ, but not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus by the good news I begat you.

And I will come to you swiftly, if the Lord will, and I shall know not the word of those puffed up, but the power.

For the kingdom of God not in word, but in power.

Therefore let us keep the festival, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of vice and wickedness; but with the unleavened of frankincense and truth.

But brother with brother is judged, and this by the unbelieving.

But ye treat ill, and defraud, and that the brethren.

And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

All things are lawful to me, but all are not profitable: all are lawful to me, but I will not be exercised by power under any.

Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods: and God will also leave unemployed this and them. And the body not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

Flee fornication. Every sin which if a man do is without the body; but he committing fornication sins against his own body.

For ye were bought for a price: then glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of God.

The wife of her own body has not power, but the husband: and likewise also the husband of his own body has not power, but the wife.

For I will all men to be as also myself. But each has his own favor of God, the one truly thus, and the other thus.

And to the married I announce, (not I, but the Lord,) The wife not to be separated from the husband:

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commands of God.

Ye were bought for a price; be ye not servants of men.

But for virgins I have not an order of the Lord: and I give an opinion as compassionated by the Lord to be faithful.

But I will you to be free from care. The unmarried cares for things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord:

And this I say for the advantage of yourselves; not that I shall cast a net upon you, but for the becoming, and occupied assiduously for the Lord without being turned away.

Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one.

But to us one God, the Father, of whom all things, and we for him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom all things, and we by him.

But not in all, knowledge: and some with consciousness of the idol even till now eat as a sacrifice to idols: and their consciousness being weak is contaminated.

If to others I am not sent, but surely I am to you: for the seal of my sending are ye in the Lord.

If others participate with your power, not rather we? But we used not this power; but endure all things, lest we give some hindrance to the good news of Christ.

But I used none of these things: and I wrote not these things, that thus it might be with me: for good to me rather to die, than that any should render my boasting void.

To the lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but subject to the law to Christ,) that I might gain the lawless,

But I give my body a blow under the eyes, and reduce to bondage: lest having proclaimed to others, I myself be rejected.

But God was not contented with the most of them: for they were overthrown in the desert.

No temptation except human has taken you and God faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but with the temptation will he also make an escape, that ye may be able to bear.

But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons.

All things are lawful to me, but all are not profitable: all things are lawful to me, but all build not the house.

Let none seek his own, but each another's.

And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness

As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

For also the man was not created through the woman; but the woman through the man.

But neither the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

And this announcing I approve not, that not for the better come ye together, but for the worse.

Wherefore I make known to you, that none speaking in the Spirit of God calls Jesus anathema: and none can say Lord Jesus, but in the Holy Spirit.

For also the body is not one member, but many.

But much rather the members of the body, seeming to be weak, are necessary:

And what we think to be less honourable of the body, upon these we put more abundant honour; and our unseemly parts have more abundant decorum.

And our becoming parts have no need: but God blended the body together, to the wanting having given more abundant honour:

That no division be in the body; but the members should care the same for one another.

Love never falters: but whether gifts of prophecies, they shall be left unemployed; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall be left unemployed.

For he speaking in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God: (for none hears; and in the spirit he speaks mysteries.)

For thou truly givest thanks well, but the other is not built up.

But in the church, I will to speak five words by my mind, that I might also sound. in the ears of others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

Brethren, be not children in reflection: but in wickedness act like children, and in reflection be ye perfected.

So that tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving: and the gift of prophecy, not to the unbelieving, but to the believing.

For God is not of unsteadiness, but of peace, as in all the churches of the holy ones.

Let your women be silent in the churches: for it has not been committed to them to speak; but to be subjected, as also says the law.

And by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which in me was not vain; but I was more abundantly wearied than they all: and not I, but the grace of God which with me.

For he must reign, till he put all enemies under his feet.

But some one will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

And what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body going to be, but the naked kernel, if perhaps of wheat, or some of the rest:

Not all flesh the same flesh: but one truly flesh of men, and another of cattle, and another of fishes, and another of flying things.

And celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies: but truly one the glory of the celestial, and another that of the terrestrial.

But the first not spiritual, but animated; then the spiritual.

Behold, I speak to you a mystery; We truly shall not all be laid asleep, but we shall all be changed,

For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.

And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory.

According to one day of the sabbaths let each of you put by himself, treasuring up that which he is prospered in, that when I come there be no collections.

For I will not see you now in coming forward; but I hope to remain some time with you, if the Lord permit.
